Quid Del ,m

' |NvENToR To all ywhom t may concewt: f

Be it known that PiisQUALn GENTILE and Anc-nto DEL GiNDion, citizens of theU'nited States ofAmerica, residing at Youngstown,

in the county 'of'li/.iahoning'and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Toys, of which they following is a specification. l

This invention relates to toys. 'lheprinci` pal object is to devise a toy comprising a spring controlled member providedwith two jaws, and a suitable handle. f l

Another object is to provide 'means for securing a rotatable shaft'between'said jaws, this shaft having a central'opening into which is fastened a string which may be caused to wind around the shaft. llVhen the operator pulls upon the string, unwind.

ing the same, this gives rotation, to the shaft and discs formed or attached thereto, or to a spherical member mounted or se cured to said shaft. The spherical member i has a central opening for the attachment of a string, which may be wound within a groove formed upon the outer circumference of said spherical member.

The drawing illustrates the preferred embodiment of the invention. However, it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet varying conditions,I vvarious changes in the form,` and minor vdetails of construction, may be resorted to without departingl claimedA from the nature of the invention. as

and set forth in the drawing:`

disc 15 is largerin circumference than the disc. 16.A Qentrally located in the shaft'lO is a'hole 1T through ,which is secured a string 18 the shaftlO and parts attached theretoare causedto revolve. in operating the toy or cord18. Bypulling `the end of the cord the shaft 10 is placed within the jaw members 1 'by openingy the Jaws by pressing inwardly,uponthe handle ymembers 4.' v'The handle members l are then released, allow-v -y properly seated yat ltheeads of the yshaft 10p 'Iny order to ing the jaw membersl to-be keep the jaws 1 near a desiredposition'for gripping the thehandle members l a securing arm y19 provided with' av dog V 20' whichfunctions against the pin 21, secured upon the right shaft 10 there is'provided upon handle members 4. The operator may hold the device when' theshaft 10 is rotatingso v that the shaft 10-is horizontalfloor and then released by pressing inwardly is larger in diameter than the disc 16 ther shaft 1() with the discs 15 'and 16 attached theretol will tend i when released.

The operator may hold the device'so `as to a table or As the disc 415V to takefa circular path v to release the shaft 10`in a vertical position,v

thereby allowing the shaft and discs 15 and 16 to represent the movement shaft 10 when released in a horizontal position will.l tend to travel away -from'the operof they topl disc .QQ in place of the disc 16.` t will be ob ator ina straight' line upon the discs 15 and 22 which are of the same-diameter.-

` By referring` to Figure 3 is will be-seen 1100 tofthe shaft 10 iii-place of the discs above" vmentioned Upon the central circumference that there is a spherical membersecured of'thisspherical member there is a groove 9e finto whichmaybe wrapped an operating string orcord 18 when properly securedby passing through a-hole'25 of the spherical memberl 23 and Va hole 17 of they shaft 10.

`Vihat we claim is:

j in a device ofthe classdescribed,two jaw i members,r said jaw members securedat right angles ltotwo arm members for lthe purpose' of supporting a` shaft, two'arm members,

of said jaw members having a cone shaped gripping point, the other jaw memberhavling,` an inverted cone shaped gripping` part, a

spring secured between' said handles below a pivot member, a revolving shaft provided at one end with a cone and at the other end with an inverted cone, a plurality of discs se- 10 cured to said shaft, means for attaching a oord to said shaft, substantiaily as described vfor the purpose serJ Yforth.

In testimony whereof We our signaytures.
